On Sunday, Kristers Aparjods won the 3rd place in the World Luge Cup on the Altenberg track in Germany, where the distribution of seats in the races was significantly affected by different ice conditions, according to the organizers. Aparjods took the 13th place after the first trip, but at the end of the second trip he climbed to the podium.

At the end of the second race, his compatriot Max Langenhans was 0.303 seconds slower, but Aparjods spent another three thousandths longer on the track.
Riks Kristens Rozītis took the 16th place, junior Gints Bērziņš finished the competition in the 24th place, but after the first race in the third position the former Artūrs Dārznieks was in the 25th place in the competition of 32 participants.
